There's nothing bright here but emptiness
This rotten apple made me sick
Take me home
These burning candles as only light
Did burn my fingers so many times
I'm losing myself, I'm jaded
But I'm not done yet
This place is full of lovers
I need a fix
I'm paying the price with agony
I buried my pride down by the sea
I wrote your name with tears and blood
I smashed the wall and cracked my skull
I wish I had your strenght, I swear I tried
I feel like shit tonight, nowhere to hide
I'm paying the price with agony
I buried my pride down by the sea
Take me home
